Former "Bachelor" bachelor Andy Baldwin just got back from the island of Palau in the South Pacific -- not on vacation, on a mission with the Navy. Now let's talk about why we the taxpayers are footing the bill on such BS.
Baldwin was among 20 military types who were on a search mission in the middle of the ocean. What, you ask, were they looking for? A B-24J bomber that went down during the war. Not Iraq. Not Vietnam. No, not Korea. We're talking WWII, as in more than 60 years ago.
Turns out, the military spends $52 million each year to find the remains of missing soldiers -- it's part of the POW/MIA program. That's all well and good depending on the circumstances. But a crash that is ancient history, at a time when the economy sucks and the Federal government is sucking the life out of everyone with taxes
Baldwin, a Navy medic and diver, and crew found what could be human remains. We're told it's all being tested in the lab and it could take months, even years, to determine identities. At least he got a really good tan.
What would one expect from a source that spends money following people like Spears around?
Compared to the $$$Billions that the government gives to Archer Daniels Midland each year through the Farm Bill to continue the Ethanol Corn Scam, this is a bargain and well worth it out of respect.
Screw you, TMZ.
"]28. I agree TMZ after 60 years, give me a break, and the families of the MIA are probably dead or long since moved on since hanging on for 60 years to the hope of burying your son would put you in the grave from stress, People do move on and let the grief process take its course."

Wrong. Their families aren't gone, many of us are here now even thought we aren’t blood relations to those men who gave all in defense of our country.
Welcome to FreeRepublic. Disgraceful indeed.
Thank you. Been reading for a long time. Wanted to post about my state of MA. Which is love hate relationship. Lately just hate. This just really touched a nerve. Mainly because all these woman that read this site treat it as gospel. They all vote Dem and really can’t give you a reason why. A co-worker actually thought Hillary grew up in poverty. Sad.
You must cringe to have the likes of Kerry and Kennedy representing you. Good luck with that.
Have a Happy Easter!
